This incredible transformation belongs to a 53-year-old Latina woman who lost an amazing 120 pounds through diet, exercise, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Although she reached her weight-loss goal, she was left with severe excess abdominal skin that caused chronic rashes beneath her abdomen and pubic region. Every day she had to apply powder to reduce moisture, skin irritation, and discomfort. The hanging abdominal pannus also made exercise difficult and prevented her from enjoying the healthy lifestyle she worked so hard to achieve.
Following her tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), her life has changed dramatically. The excess abdominal skin was removed, revealing a flatter, firmer, and beautifully contoured abdomen. Even more importantly, the skin folds that trapped moisture and caused painful recurring rashes were eliminated. She no longer needs daily powders or worries about skin irritation beneath her abdomen.
Today she says she finally feels like all of her hard work has paid off. She enjoys exercising, shopping for clothes, and looking in the mirror with renewed confidence. She is incredibly thankful to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen for helping her complete her massive weight-loss journey and giving her the body she always hoped to see after losing 120 pounds.
